Abstract
Four dry pelleted feeds containing 20 %, 30 %, 40 % and 45 % protein were formulated
incorporating casein as the main source of protein for m,e in carp nutrition studies.
The caloric content in all the feeds was maintained constant. The method of processing
is described. The formulated diets were tested for water stability. This test has revealed
that the diet containing 20 %, 30 % and 40 % protein had better stability than that
containing 45 % protein. This was. due to the· relatively higher fat content in the former
tbree diets. However, all the feeds were sufficiently stable at the end of one hour in
which time carps are known to utilise supplementary diets.
